""Just as it had been Edsel's [Edsel Ford] idea to buy Lincoln to give the company an elegant car to match GM's Cadillac, so in the midthirties, as Ford's competitive position continued to slip, he tried to get a part of the middle-priced market through the Zephyr. The Zephyr began as the Briggs Manufacturing Company ""dream car."" which Edsel saw in prototype at the 1933 automobile show. He was excited by it, having wanted for some time a car in price and quality between the Ford and the Lincoln. He bought the rights from Briggs and then brought in Eugene T. Gregorie, a former boat designer, to carry out his vision of a sleek auto for the middle-class buyer."" - “The Fords: An American Epic” by Peter Collier and David Horowitz, p. 158-159 - illustration #40 - 1987 Apparently design direction worked both ways.

  • Reference
  • Transportation, Automobile
"Uncle Jimmy bought a 1924 Essex automobile, in about 1926, for $800 from Lyle Newman at Clark's Point and drove it round the Harbor. Reached Manset and his home on Mansell Lane, drove into the driveway, but when he got into the barn he didn't know how to stop it. My father, Chester Stanley, and Aunt Nan, Uncle Jimmy's wife, heard a crash and there was the Essex with the front end out through the end of the barn. The wheels were still spinning and Uncle Jimmy was standing there scratching his head. Jimmy said, "Ches, if you can get her out, she's yourn." My father drove the car until 1936. He sold it for junk during World War II. It drove like a baby carriage - had good springs and a Fisher body." - Ralph Stanley 01/28/08
